System Options

By installing system-related options, you can further enhance the performance of the machine.

ColorPASS and imagePASS

ColorPASS and imagePASS are printer controllers which attach to the back of the machine. ColorPASS and imagePASS support Adobe Genuine PostScript 3 (imagePASS also supports PCL5c and PCL6), and are suited for office environments in which larger print volumes are frequently processed, or for users who use Adobe PostScript or other PostScript applications.


If you are using ColorPASS or imagePASS, you cannot use the Encrypted Secure Print Software. If you are using ColorPASS or imagePASS, you cannot use the Job Hold function.

Universal Send Trace & Smooth PDF Kit

This option is useful when using the Send function on the machine. It enables you to convert the text and line drawings of a scanned image to scalable outline data. The outline data (Trace) can be extracted and used in Adobe Illustrator. The smoothing process can also be applied to the text of the outline data to make it appear less jagged when viewed on a computer monitor or in print.

Universal Send Security Feature Set

The Universal Send Security Feature Set enables you to use the Send function on the machine with security. It enables you to send documents in the following formats.

Encrypted PDF

The Encrypted PDF mode enables you to encrypt PDF files that you send to an e-mail address or file server for enhanced security. Only users who enter the correct password can open, print, or change the received PDF.

The Web Access Software enables you to view Web pages from the touch panel display of the machine. You can print PDF files on Web pages without using a computer. Moreover, if you create a Web page or special content, you can share PDF documents with other users. For information on how to use the Web Access, see Web Access.

Encrypted Secure Print Software

This option enables you to encrypt print data sent from a computer using the Secure Print function, and decrypt it at the machine.
